Sensor Integration Complete

CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The challenge is designed by the European Space Agency (ESA) to give students hands-on experience in designing, building, and launching a satellite.
Teams must design and build a CanSat that measures temperature and air pressure during descent from a height of approximately 1km. The data must be transmitted to a ground station and analyzed in real-time.
The competition consists of multiple phases: preliminary design review, critical design review, final integration, launch campaign, and post-flight analysis. Each phase tests different aspects of team capability.
CanSat provides invaluable experience in project management, teamwork, and real engineering challenges. Participants gain skills in electronics, programming, mechanical design, and data analysis that prepare them for careers in aerospace.
The Green Star CanSat Team 2025
We are a team of six third-grade high school students from Paweł Jasienica 2SLO High School in Warsaw, Poland. As first-year students of the IB Diploma Programme, we are all deeply passionate about various branches of STEM, including engineering, programming, physics, mathematics, and astrophysics.
The CanSat competition is an opportunity for us to develop our practical skills further and learn through experience, rather than relying solely on theory. We are excited to take part in this initiative and look forward to the challenges and knowledge it will bring.

Our primary mission is to prototype a CanSat mini-satellite that will be launched aboard a rocket to an altitude of around 3000 m. Once ejected, the CanSat will automatically detect the descent phase by monitoring changes in altitude computed from air pressure measurements.
Our innovative secondary mission focuses on environmental sustainability. When the CanSat descends to approximately 100 m above the ground, its onboard computer will trigger a capsule-deployment mechanism, releasing cellulose capsules filled with seeds through dedicated openings.
